That bathroom was mayhem. We had 5 people crammed in there holding lights, boom poles and tripods, everything was covered in wires which had to be moved out of the way in every shot, my friend sitting in the tub covered in fake blood and complaining we were ruining his new shorts, condoms filled with blood that didn't want to cooperate when we told them to explode, and my parents nagging me that we were supposed to be out of there 10 minutes ago.

I was just pretty satisfied that it worked out.

The feedback I'm getting on this is great. I think I'm going to post the more serious things I work on here from now on, if you fellows don't mind.

On the last shoot I was on, we were shooting a double-death scene in a bathroom - director, cameraman, 3 actors, grip, boom op, and myself. That, plus 2 kenos, one 1k, and a huge mirror made that not only a sauna... but absolutely INSANE.

I know how you feel

From dictionary.com:

tr.v. pi·geon·holed, pi·geon·hol·ing, pi·geon·holes
1. To place or file in a small compartment or recess.

I wasn't referring to cramped sets, I meant pigeonholing himself into one type of film, thought I was clear about it... he has pretty much one type of film to view, shooting films. some of it shows subtle elements, but a demo reel ought to make it easy to see the director has the skill to do more than one thing.

Unfortunately, if I said I had experience doing anything else I'd be lying. I'm working on shooting music videos and weddings as soon as I can, but I can't put it in my demo reel if I don't have it.

I'm unsure as to how you knew that... but correct.
